Is it me or are the bumpers of the ES made sort of weak? I was pulling out of the garage looked back and turned to hard and the next thing I knew I was rolling over the styrofoam and the bumper was completely laying on the gound.

The 2nd (yeah you read right, SECOND) incident was a minor hit with a quarter panel of a tour bus. Maybe I am just used to my Tahoe's crome bumper where I did the damage to the other car.

Or I could need glasses

Ya. it's helpful tho, you want it that way.
You can smack tons of stuff with the rear bumper and come out with next to no bumper damage. They're notoriously strong!


My lil cuz killed all but one of my rear bumper mounts when I was trying to teach him how to do 180-360's. Backed it right into a ditch.

You can just clean the mounting surface, put a sheet of fiberglass against it, mix some epoxy & paint it on real thin. Then you've got new mounts.
